Accreditation
Tell us your harbours, your trades, and your licence and insurance details. We verify all of it before a single referral is routed to you.
The YachtMD service network
Work orders,
not phone calls.
Your service desk should not be triaging phone calls. Every referral we send has been through the six-step assessment first — vessel class, length, symptoms, urgency, location and a stated budget expectation — and arrives as a written work order. You see the whole thing before you accept, in the trades and harbours you nominate.
What the network handles for you
- Triage done before it reaches you
- Only your trades and your harbours
- A written work order, not a phone note
- Decline freely, with no penalty
Plans
Pay for booked work, not for names
Most lead sellers charge the moment a phone number changes hands, whether or not the work was ever real. We would rather be paid when you are. Choose the arrangement that suits how your shop is run. Cancel any time; no lock-in and no signup fee.
How the network operates
Referral
Work orders arrive by text and email with the full assessment attached. Accept or decline — declining costs nothing and does not affect your standing in the network.
Settlement
You quote and invoice the owner directly, on your own terms. Our fee is billed monthly in arrears against the referrals you accepted.
Standards of the network
Licensed & insured
A current business licence for every state you work in, and general liability cover. We verify both on accreditation and re-check annually.
Respond promptly
First contact on an accepted referral within one business day. Owners were told to expect that, so it is the one timing commitment we hold you to.
Quote in writing
Findings and an itemised quotation before work begins — that is what the owner was promised on our side, and it is what keeps the network worth belonging to.
Single-use data
Owner details are licensed for that work order alone. No resale, no marketing lists, no onward transfer. This is contractual, and we enforce it.
Application
Apply for accreditation
About three minutes, and we come back within two business days. Nothing is charged and no referrals are routed until your licence and insurance are verified and you have confirmed your terms in writing.
Application received.
Network terms — summary
These are the terms that matter most. A full network agreement is issued for signature during accreditation, and it governs if the two ever disagree.
- What a referral is. A completed assessment from a vessel owner who consented to be contacted by the service provider we match them with, in a trade and harbour you nominated.
- Fees. As set out in your confirmed terms. Declined referrals are never charged. Referrals that prove to be duplicates, out of area, outside your trades, or unreachable after three documented attempts across two days are credited on request within 14 days.
- Exclusivity. On territory terms the referral goes to you alone. On other terms it may go to more than one member, and we tell you which before you accept.
- Data use. Owner details are licensed to you for that work order only. No resale, no transfer, no marketing lists, and no retention beyond what your tax and warranty obligations require. If an owner opts out we will tell you, and you must stop contacting them.
- Your compliance. You are the caller. You are responsible for the TCPA, your state's telemarketing statute, the Do Not Call registry, and your own licensing. We pass on the owner's consent and the record of it; we cannot consent on your behalf.
- Independence. Members are independent businesses. YachtMD does not employ you, direct or supervise the work, warrant it, or take a position in any dispute over it. You quote, invoice and stand behind your own work.
- Ending it. Either side may withdraw on 30 days' notice. Fees already incurred remain payable. We may suspend immediately for a lapsed licence or insurance, or for a breach of the data-use term.
